My workplace got visited by a little friend today! I think it was a brown bat, but I'm not sure. What kind of bat do you think it is?

Oh man, I couldn't really tell you without some closeups, geographical location, and some luck! There's a LOT of little brown bats with black wings lol. Perhaps some kind of Vesper bat? Which I know doesn't really narrow it down that much. Perhaps Myotis, Eptesicus, or maybe Pipistrellus?

Regardless, its a total cutie, and I hope the little guy is okay! Generally it's not a great sign if they're out in the day you know? You're so lucky to have seen a bat just chilling though! Not something that happens very often :)
